IN RE:
TOSHIA PARRISH, formerly known as Administrative Proceeding
TOSHIA GLOVER, Docket Number: 103032
Respondent.
ADMINISTRATIVE COMPLAINT
The State of Florida, Office of Financial Regulation (“Office”), files this Administrative
Complaint against TOSHIA PARRISH, formerly known as TOSHIA GLOVER
(“PARRISH”), and alleges:
GENERAL ALLEGATIONS
1. Pursuant to sections 494.0011 and 494.0012, Florida Statutes, the Office is charged
with administering and enforcing the provisions of chapter 494, Florida Statutes, conducting
examinations, and investigations to determine whether any provision of chapter 494, Florida
Statutes, has been violated, and issuing licenses to persons not ineligible.
2. Pursuant to section 494.003 12(4), Florida Statutes, the Office shall issue a license
to a loan originator applicant if the applicant meets the requirements of chapter 494, Florida
Statutes, and is not otherwise ineligible.
3. Pursuant to section 494.00312(5), Florida Statutes, a person who had a loan
originator license or its equivalent revoked is not eligible to be licensed as a loan originator.
4. Pursuant to section 494.0025(5), Florida Statutes, it is illegal to knowingly and
willfully falsify or conceal a material fact or make any false or fraudulent statement or
representation knowing the same to contain any false or fraudulent statement or entry.
5. Pursuant to section 494.00255(1), Florida Statutes, failure to comply with any
provision of section 494.00255(1)(a) through (y), Florida Statutes, and as provided by section
494.00255(1)(u), Florida Statutes, any rule or order adopted pursuant thereto, is grounds for
disciplinary action.
6. Pursuant to section 494.00312(6), Florida Statutes, the Office may annul a license
that has been issued by mistake.
7. Pursuant to section 494.00255(2)(c), Florida Statutes, the Office may revoke a
license for violations of section 494.00255, Florida Statutes.
8. Application for a loan originator license is initiated by, among other requirements,
submitting a form, MU4, to the National Mortgage Licensing System (“NMLS”) as required by
the Secure and Fair Enforcement for Mortgage Licensing Act of 2008 (“SAFE Act”), codified at
12 U.S.C. sections 5101 through 5117. Section 494.001 1(2)(b), Florida Statutes, Rule 69V-40.003,
Florida Administrative Code.
9. On September 6, 2020, Parrish initially applied to the Office for a loan originator
license, deemed received on September 18, 2020.
10. Based on information provided by Parrish in the application, Form MU4, the Office
licensed Parrish as a loan originator, license number LO74704. A copy of Parrish’ MU4 is attached
as Exhibit I.
11. The application form MU4 requires providing information to which the applicant
must respond and attest to the truth and completeness of the information provided. The information
includes all names by which the applicant has been known, and whether any federal or state
mortgage licensing authority ever revoked a loan originator license held by the applicant.
12. A material misstatement or omission of fact on an initial or renewal license
application is grounds for to take the disciplinary actions specified in section 494.00255(2) against
a person licensed or required to be licensed under part II or part III of chapter 494, Florida Statutes.
Section 494.00255(1)(s), Florida Statutes.
13. Parrish formerly held a mortgage broker license issued by the Office under prior
law. That license (#4MB0822297) was issued to her in the name of Toshia Glover.
14. The term “Loan originator” is defined to mean “an individual who, directly or
indirectly, solicits or offers to solicit a mortgage loan, accepts or offers to accept an application for
a mortgage loan, negotiates or offers to negotiate the terms or conditions of a new or existing
mortgage loan on behalf of a borrower or lender, or negotiates or offers to negotiate the sale of an
existing mortgage loan to a noninstitutional investor for compensation or gain. The term includes
an individual who is required to be licensed as a loan originator under the S.A.F.E. Mortgage
Licensing Act of 2008. The term does not include an employee of a mortgage broker or mortgage
lender whose duties are limited to physically handling a completed application form or transmitting
a completed application form to a lender on behalf of a prospective borrower.” Section
494.001(18), Florida Statutes.
15. Under former licensing law in Florida, the equivalent license to the loan originator
license was the mortgage broker license. That law provided that to "[a]ct as a mortgage broker"
means, for compensation or gain, or in the expectation of compensation or gain, either directly or
indirectly, accepting or offering to accept an application for a mortgage loan, soliciting or offering
to solicit a mortgage loan on behalf of a borrower, or negotiating or offering to negotiate the terms
or conditions of a mortgage loan on behalf of a lender. 1991 Fla. SB 1890, Pt. I, Sec. 1(2)
16. By Final Order, the Office revoked Parrish’ mortgage broker license. OFR 2009-
188. Exhibit II
17. That license (#MB0822297) was issued to her in the name of Toshia Glover. In her
September 2020 application, Parrish failed to disclose the name by which she was formerly known,
Toshia Glover. As a result, the Office did not identify Toshia Parrish as Toshia Glover, and that,
as Toshia Glover, she had a mortgage broker license previously revoked in Florida. Exhibit I
18. Therefore, the Office seeks to annul Loan Originator license no. 74704, as it was
issued by mistake.
19. Alternatively, the Office seeks to revoke Loan Originator license no. 74704, for
material misstatements and omissions in the application, MU4, by Respondent, and impose an
administrative fine of $3,500.
20. A first-time violation of section 494.00255(1)(s), Florida Statutes, for a material
misstatement or omission of fact is an “A level” fine, and “‘A level” suspension, or revocation of
license. Form OFR-494-14, violation #35.
WHEREFORE, Respondent is hereby notified that the Office intends to enter an Order
ANNULLING Parrish’s loan originator license, LO74704, OR alternatively, REVOKING
LO74704 and imposing an administrative fine of $3,500 against Parrish.
